Police: Man shoots, kills wife, himself

State police in York are investigating a murder-suicide that happened around 11 p.m. Saturday.

Police say they got a 911 phone call from 43-year-old Steven Himes where he stated that he had just shot and killed his wife, Amanda Himes, 39, at their home in the 2000 block of Delta Road in Chanceford Township.

Police say Steven Himes ran to the basement and shot himself in the chest while on the line with police dispatchers. Officers found Himes' wife dead in a first-floor bedroom of apparent multiple gunshot wounds.

The coroner says that the couple's two boys were inside of the home in their bedroom at the time of the incident.

An autopsy is scheduled to be performed on Amanda Himes.
